Scott, I really appreciate the comments and kind words! I've always liked writing words, but in my day job I write code. I also like that feeling of getting a job DONE to transcend the barriers.

You are totally right about "science" being a possible turn off. A friend of mine and I just started http://www.AtlantaScienceTavern.com as a way to help people learn about science in a non-academic way that is welcoming and open.

If you have any more funny posters or images, please share!<br />

take care,<br />
